Heart of Night and Fire

Forbidden magic. A plague of demons. And a dangerous passion... Zarya has always known she is dangerous. Raised in secret, she was trained to fight but ordered never to reveal her strange, shadowy magic. Stealing a horse and fleeing the only life she's ever known, Zarya arrives in a dazzling marble city where demons prowl the streets. When she joins the fight against the monsters, desire sparks with a powerful commander. But he's dangerous too - a blood-drinking immortal with a terrible secret. And if he knew Zarya's true self, he would kill her in an instant. As Zarya draws closer to uncovering the origin of her magic, the demons seem to grow bolder... Almost as if they're drawn to her. Soon, she faces an impossible choice: can she unleash her abilities and save her new home, or will she be consumed by an ancient darkness.
